Socks

When I'm doing laundry, I put my infant's dirty socks in a lingerie bag. They don't get caught under my front load washer's rubber seal, and they're all together for matching.

No More Lonely Socks

Before putting socks in the hamper, safety pin the pair together. I have not lost a sock in over 30 years! When one sock is taken from the dryer, both come out.

Bath Time

When I fold my laundry, I fold my towels with two folds (widthwise), then place a washcloth inside and roll the washcloth up in the towel. This way, when my family goes to the shower, they have both with them instead of yelling 15 minutes later, "Can you get me a towel?" or "I forgot my washcloth."

How to Dry Clothes Fast

Have you ever realized that you forgot to put your clothes in the dryer and you need dry clothes now? No problem. Put the wet clothes that you need right away in the dryer with a couple of dry towels and run on high for about 10 minutes. The towels soak up a lot of the wetness and the dryer dries the items in a jiffy!!

Drying Clothes

If you shake your clothes when you take them out of the washer before putting them in the dryer, it will take less time to dry them and they'll be far less wrinkled!

Two Birds, One Towel

Since I have a power toothbrush that has a two-minute brushing reminder, I use those two minutes to brush my teeth AND clean off my bathroom counter at the same time. I put away hairspray, makeup, brushes etc. and have time to wipe it down with a Scott Towel as well. I also get more use out of the towel by wiping down the toilet quickly and voila, I have "cleaned" two birds with one towel!

Making Beds

If you have fitted sheets with elastic all around, put a safety pin in one corner so it's easier to find the top of the sheet.

Dry Cleaning Time Saver

Keep a small laundry basket on the floor of your closet for dry cleaning. Put any buttons that need to be sewn on in a sandwich bag and pin it to the garment. The dry cleaner will sew them on for you.
